Dr. SM Khaliduzzaman, Jamaat’s candidate for Dhaka-17, has announced a personal donation of Tk 10 million to support improvements at the National Institute of Cancer Research and Hospital. Khaliduzzaman criticized the state of the country’s largest cancer treatment center, citing corruption, broken radiotherapy machines, lack of modern equipment, and the influence of syndicates controlling patient services. He pledged to build a “people-centered health system” if elected and called for the cancellation of politically influenced appointments, such as the recent irregular recruitment of 65 doctors at a children’s hospital.
